Here’s what I’ve done today and each of the past two days in my quest to maintain running fitness while allowing recovery of my left foot. Found new cardio!

Friday, 11/02:

Hammy leg curls 50 lbs 4 x sets (15 reps per set)

Air Bike (“cycling” with legs in air) 4 x for these seconds: :68 :68 :75 :80

Superman 4 x about :20 each

Ab wheel 4 x 20 reps

Abductor 3 x 50 lbs (15 reps set)

Adductor 3 x 50 lbs (15 reps set)

Hang (legs pulled up on device below) 2 x, each time: 1. 12 front, 12 each side, 12 front 2. 20 front, 20 each side, 20 front (about :74 seconds; heart rate about 130…this will be employed as a running simulation!)

Thursday, 11/01:

Ab machine 2x 130 lbs, 2 x 140 lbs (27 reps each set)

Shoulder press 4 x 40 lbs (15 reps each set)

Lats 4 x 70 lbs (15 reps set)

Biceps 4 x 10kilos (sets began with 9 reps, ended with about 6)

Obliques 4 x 100 lbs (15 reps set)

Wednesday, 10/31 (Gym, Day II):

4 sets for all

Air bike x 4 (:65 sec each)

Quad machine–once but no more…too much potential pressure on top of foot

Hammys 3 x about 12-15 reps each set; about 25-27 kilos

Abs x 2 sitting holding 10lb weight side to side (15 reps each set)

Leg raises x 1

Any cardio ideas for me??
